What line do u prefer mono,braid,flouro,or co p?

jbsoonerfan reply :

12 or 14 lb mono

papajoe222 reply :

I prefer fluoro because it allows the bait to maintain a nose down attitude on the pause. I feel that is a plus in colder water temps. When I"m using a floater, mono is my choice. I really don't know if it makes a difference, but it's what I have confidence in.

Scott F reply :

I prefer braid. There is considerable amount of stretch in mono and fluoro lines. When I jerk the rod, I want all the action I impart to transfer to the bait and not be absorbed by the stretch of the line.

Jrob78 reply :

Generally fluorocarbon but in the summer sometimes I throw a floater and will use mono.

Stephen B reply :

Fluorocarbon from 8-12 lb

I fish jerks on spinning. GLX 852s with 2500 Stradic fk with 20lb Smackdown and 8lb Blue Label leader, works great

This.

I love Gliss for jerkbaits on spinning rods for this reason.....jerk control...and castability

rangerjockey reply :

I'm lucky enough to live around some of the best stickbait fisherman on the planet. I would say it's about a dead heat between mono and flouro.

A lot of guys go with 8lb. as long as the water is cold and they are sluggish and up to 10 when they get more feisty.

Dens228 reply :

I prefer braid, but I use braid for everything. I use it for the no stretch, and fishing from a kayak it helps.

Fishes in trees reply :

I use 14 lb Fireline Crystal and a short, foot to foot and a half fluorocarbon leader. I prefer spinning gear to throw jerk baits.

RB 77 reply :

Copoly

junyer357 reply :

Flouro. Always.

PourMyOwn reply :

For ice out smallies I use 8lb Silver Thread and I have a second rod ready with 10 to float the bait a closer to the surface-all on spinning equipment.

Bluebasser86 reply :

Mono

Team9nine reply :

8#-12# fluoro depending on specific bait, usually the lighter two tests.

Tizi reply :

10 lb invisx

JoeyT reply :

I use a 6-6 med fast casting rod so 10# flouro for me. mono has way to much stretch. But if you are using a heaver rod with the smaller 110 size baits (maybe there's bigger bass where you live) the stretch from the mono will counter act the heaver rod and won't pull hooks out. My set up handles 5-6 lbs smallies no problem.

schplurg reply :

I use 14 pound mono but I probably don't know what I'm doing and have yet to get bit with a jerkbait I do wonder if it stretches too much for good action, or if I'm doing it hard enough for the amount of line in the water. I will try braid on this reel next.

bassboy107 reply :

I dont like braid for most treble baits. I stick with 12lb mono or fluoro

FryDog62 reply :

I’ll use braid on my Lews Moderate/Fast jerkbait rod. Faster tip rods I use 10 lb YZH.

Yumeya reply :

Braid with leader.

webertime reply :

10lb Sunline Super Natural. Stuff is thin and tough.

anderb54 reply :

I use 20 lb braid as a mainline with either 10 lb fluoro or 11 lb Defier Armilo as a leader. I like that the Armilo floats, and it pulls double duty as a popper/walking bait rod when the temps come up

NathanDLTH reply :

Depending on rod, but most of the time I’m running braid to leader with 12lb flouro on the end. Either Sunline or Seagur. Haven’t had a problem with straight braid either.

KP Duty reply :

I run Sunline sniper. 8lb for 3/8 and 10lb on 1/2oz. I have two spinning rods rigged accordingly. I have used Loomis 723 imx spin jig rods for years, but just picked up two new tatula spinning rods in 6'6", rated 1/8-3/4oz, and they have a really short rear grip. Really excited to use them.
